Intense full-stack curriculum

Your commitment

We are looking for serious learners who are
passionate about learning in an inclusive and collaborative
environment. The students who thrive are the ones
working hard to find creative solutions to tough problems.

Prework

We issue a series of challenges that you can do on your own
time to get warmed up to the material and that will allow you
to hit the ground running on day one.

Curriculum

Kickstart Backend is a rigorous Python class on
backend web development and core programming concepts including
OOP and MVC. Kickstart Frontend starts right after
Backend ends, and it is a cutting-edge crash course on modern
JavaScript practices and React JS. For those seeking a career
change, it also provides extra time for coaching to help the
students become competitive candidate in the Bay Area tech

One homework each week. These assignments consist of
iterative improvements on a personal project according to
criteria that is related to the material at hand.

Group projects

One group project at the end of each course part. The topic
is up to the students, but the only requirement is that they
should employ some of the new skills learned in class.
